Is there a led light available for the driving lights as well?

Take off all battery cover and whatever on the way. Don't go to the wheel guard... you will not reach from there!

takahashi

Pepe... I want to order the stuff pretty soon... so

the rear brake light - did you order superwhite or a red one?

6 LED is cool for the #194s

how about the superwhite 9LED for the reverse? Yellow for the front instead of your shealth bulb and side brinkers?

Likely to spend a lot of money .. maybe I just order the rear brake 15LED and 6x 6LED #194s... and the dome light as well

Taka

Red for the brake lights.

I'd put it like this for the reverse ones... the LED bulb replacements aren't real pretty, personally, I think the stock reverse ones are the way to go (stealth like ones are too dim, you'll get run into when reversing). Also, really, how much time to you plan to spend driving in reverse...? I wouldn't bother if I were you.

As for 9 vs 15 LED ones... someone following me last night said they couldn't see through the back glass of my car when I had my brakes on because they were so bright, and that was just the 9LED jobbies... the 15LED ones would probably blind someone behind you. (and it could be a copper )

takahashi

ok... I trust you....

sound like you are happy with it so I will go with your choice - thx pepe.

edit: one more question... I saw the 5 LED 194 like the 15LED have 6 side LEDs- --- is that good or bad?

Chino075

Which site did u ordered the 6-Led SuperWhites 194? Autoilumination only has 5 led. Thx!

Al

takahashi

Al ... it is the site you looking

scroll down the 194 list and read carefully... you will find it, mate!

5 led is the new bulb and I did not see it 2 weeks ago...

15 led is new too --- the extra 6 pepe is on the side not in front -- so I think it will fill up the reflector rather than make it much brighter... I am thinking of going for that

pepe

Yeah, I know that's what the 15LED jobbies are... I think they'd probably be blindingly bright, but, would also be keen to hear from someone who's actually put them in, so go ahead and keen to hear how you go

takahashi

I am brave... I ordered it... hehe

Chino075

Thx taka, it was there. Damn, is my eyesight that bad :p *whistle*
Just one question: are these 6-led bulbs reliable? As in, do they blow out of then or have any particular problems. Cuz, its already a pain in the @$$ to get it out and stuff, and already sliced my fingers slightly.

Al

takahashi

Should be... LED should last longer than ordinary bulbs...

I buy that for the whiteness...

For not cutting hand - get a spanner and disconnect all the box and stuff behind it and make yourself room

Chino075

Cool.....And as for the cutting hands, i removed battery cover and everything else, but space was still limited. But is ok, now that i already changed it once, should be a breeze to do it 2nd time...thx for replies

takahashi

You must have big hand and fingers.... lucky you are not my GP or Urologist... hehe. j/k

Chino075

Taka, look to ur side and cough.....j/k :D

So let me get this right.

I can use 9 or 15 LED 7443 in Red for the back brake light, and 194 (Amber) Silver Vision bulbs (near the bottom of the 194 Page).

BTW, I watched the end of the cricket this morning (my time). Kasper and McGrath are bowling well, don't think Lee will get back on the side, unless Dizzy goes. Can't wait for ICC Champions Trophy over here and the Ashes next year.



EDIT: That last post by mizzle, was actually posted by me, seems my cookie got corrupted. I have reported the problem here, so you can delete the "mizzle" post if you like.

takahashi

moatz.... it should be Amber 7440 not 194 for the brinkers (front and rear) coz...

194 is 5W, 7440/7443 are 20W...

moatz

Taka, Thanks.

I see the error of my ways.

moatz.

Anthony

Sorry I am being a dumb ***, I want to change

brake lights
reversing lights
indicators
side lights (i think you call them parking lights? The little ones look like projectors but aren't)
Full Beams
Front Fog Lights

Now have looked all through the manual and cannot find what size the bulbs are. Anyone able to help, also what is the maximum number of LED's I could use?

Thanks
Anthony

moatz

Anthony,

The information is on page 10-6 of the manual, there is also a detailed listing in first post of this thread https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=25466

Regards,

Moatz

Anthony

Moatz,

Thanks for the help, did a search but did not see that thread.
Told you I was a dumb ***:p

Thanks
A

takahashi

No you are not Anthony...

There is no maximum LED you can have either ... they are not using as much current as the conventional bulb ... even the 15LED I think... will let you know and possibly show pic if PEPE thinks I am not stealing his thread

moatz

How long did the order take to arrive, via the International Airmail route? I know you are in Oz, and I am in the UK, but it gives me some idea.

I ordered on the Monday 5/7 and it was shipped on the Wednesday 7/7. It generally takes 5 business days when goods are shipped airmail from Australia, so i would expect the same.

Thanks,

takahashi

I ordered mine 2/7 but still has not seen it????

Should have paid Global Priority express for $25 rather than Global Mail for $10...

If I still don't see it by the end of this week i will give them an email again...

USPS is slow when they are not urgent! PoLak mailed his stuff and took 2.5 week. But the shipment still cost USD$11 for a box. Patient... I expect to see it by Wednesday.

pepe

As I said, I ordered on a Thurs night Aus time, arrived the next Tuesday morning, paid for the Global Priority mail, like $10 I think it was, so it was like 5 days, including a weekend for it to arrive.
